thought it was also for the PSP.

Yep it's for the PSP too. If you itch for drag racing the way I do this is a great fix. PS2 graphics or not. Worth the $15 dollar game.

So far this game is just OK for me. It is nice that they follow the new points format, but it just doesnt seem as good as the previous NHRA drag racing game.

Sure I could run unrealistic ET's in the previous one and it was becoming a little too easy. But in the new game I was able to have one tune with only a few *slight* changes for the entire year. And it ran the same in Denver as it did in Dallas.

Maybe that is because I haven't really explored it too much. But it seems really easy to get the thing sideways (in TF).

Definitly worth the $15 for something to do. I also like that it has PSM, but I haven't messed with them too much.

Right now my best time is something like 4.51 in TF, but this is in rookie mode. Im hoping that it will get quicker and harder in the more advanced levels.

I haven't done TF yet still trying to win PS. I used to get sideways until I got my tune down and now I use it for every race and smoke everyone, usually. My only real mistakes are my burnouts. Sometimes I don't burn straight and leave the line goin towards the wall or the opponents lane. I ten to overcorrect. I have learned though when turning in you only need to slightly pull the wheel over. I usually glance at the steering wheel, cockpit view, and watch how much I pull it. The sounds of the engines are the best part of this whole game. Who cares if the crashes are lousy or anything else, for the sound this gets a 10 from me and I will play it on my PS3 when I get that too.

I want to play...

Anyone ever play that game called Burn Out : Drag Racing?

I loved that game....you could modify everything!

So they dont have this for PC?

Yeah they got it for the PC too. Get it, you'll love it. It's so good I'd pay $50 for the game but for $15 it's a GREAT!! deal. Make sure you get this game, there's another one out but it doesn't have the Pro Bikes, this is the latest version.

It'll be worth it

can you modify the cars extensively (tune wise)

I member burn out would let you modify damn near everything... it was great.

Graphics arnt the best but I love the games that are fkn fun but have meh graphics.

There is no modification of the cars. They are spec cars, per se.

However the clutch weights, fuel curve, tire pressure, timing, boost, compression, wing angles and a couple other things are adjustable.

Burn out had more I believe... good that gives me some stuff to mess around with to keep me into the game

I'ma be playing it on my laptop when its my wifes turn to drive (our 4000 mile road trip coming up this weekend)
